After many years working in the childcare industry and working my way up to a Deputy Manager’s position, I completed my BA Honours in Childhood Studies and then continued studying to obtain my PGCE with an Early Years Specialism. I have taught in two local primary schools in both Reception and Year 1, and more recently I worked at Highlands College, supporting the Level 3 and Degree students in their childcare placements.

I love everything about teaching, but especially the relationships I have the privilege of building with the children and their families and making learning opportunities as exciting as possible.

I now have two young children of my own, as well as a rather active and bouncy cockapoo, so we spend a lot of time outdoors as a whole family. You can normally find us at our happiest either at the local parks, at the beach, or playing in the woods.

I have always admired St George’s and the people who work there, so it was a pleasure to be offered a teaching role here straight after my maternity leave. I love my colleagues and children here, and I look forward to all the exciting adventures ahead with you all.
